NAMCO VISITORS

(1 / 1)


  WE HAVE NOT BEEN VERY FORMAL ABOUT OUR INTRODUCTION OF THE NAMCO 
ENGINEERING VISITORS, SO HERE'S THE SCOOP.
  MR. NAKAMURA IS THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING - EQUIVALENT TO OUR
V.P. LEVEL. HE IS THE SON-IN-LAW OF THE MR. NAKAMURA WHO IS FOUNDER
AND MAJORITY OWNER. (IN JAPAN, WHEN YOU MARRY INTO A FAMILY OF HIGHER
STATUS, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO TAKE THAT NAME IF YOU ARE THE HUSBAND.
  MR. HIRAOKA IS A SECTION MANAGER (LIKE OUR DIRECTOR LEVEL), WHO REPORTS 
TO NAKAMURA JUNIOR.  HE HAS A H/W AND S/W BACKGROUND.
  MR. TASHIRO IS A SECTION MANAGER ALSO, AND REPORTS TO NAKAMURA JUNIOR.
HE IS A GAME DESIGNER, PREVIOUSLY.
  MR. OZAWA IS THE SECTION MANAGER OF THE ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SECTION.
THIS IS LIKE OUR MECHANICAL GROUP, BUT SINCE NAMCO ALSO BUILDS MECHANICAL
PRODUCTS, I SUSPECT IT IS A LARGER GROUP.
  TED JINNO IS AN ACCOUNTANT FROM NAMCO AMERICA, WHO IS SERVING AS
TRANSLATOR ALONG WITH OUR OWN KEN HATA.
  THIS GROUP WILL BE HERE PROBABLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, IF YOU WANT TO
TALK TO THEM - DON'T BE BASHFUL.
